A Great Popular Oyclopedia.

The second volume of Alden's Manifold
Cyclopedia more than bears out the
promises of the first. There seems to be
little doubt that it will prove to be the
great popular Cyclopedia for the next
score of years at least. The embodiment
of an Unabridged Dictionary of Lam
guage and complete Cyclopedia of Uni
versal knowledge in one work, in large
type, with thousands of illustrations, and
all for price less than people have been
used to paying for Dictionary alone, is
not only novelty in plan, but to the Or
binary book-buyer the fact is hardly less
than astounding. Its accomplishment
will certainly be credtable to Alden's
Literary Revolution.
As to the quality of the work, both lit
erary and mechanical, any common-sense
reader is capable of judging. The two
volumes received at this office (which any
reader is welcome to call and examine)
are certainly deserving of the unstinted
praise which they seem to be receiving,
as evince the following quotations.
1.-THE book in all respects more than
answers my expectations. 1t is a very
neat volume, of form convenient for use,
firmly bound, of large, clear type, with
contents of just that general character
which the popular reader requires-com-
prehensive, accurate, and compact. Its
marvelously low cost makes it prize
eagerly to be sought in every intelligence
loving household. Prof Henry n. Day,
D. d., LII. D., Yale College, New Haven,
Conn.
"a particularly valuable feature, the
admirable guide to pronunciation. The
work, so cheap. is a God-send to the many
who, like my self have old editions of

and yet in dates and statistics, and many
other matters, are behind the times. -

A Peculiar Accident.

The wife John w. Bradford of No. 400
Lombard street met with severe acct
dent Monday morning under very pc
culiar circumstances. While in bed
asleep she dreamed that some one was
telling her Of the accident which hap
pened to a lady, an acquaintance, year
or two ago, in which the latter fell down
a flight of stairs and broke her neck.
Under the excitement of the dream, she
arose hurriedly in her sleep and was
walking to the spot where her somnam-
bulstic guide was about to show her the
place and the manner of the woman's
death when she was rudely awakened
by falling down whole flight of steps
herself. Her husband, who saw her rise
hurriedly in her sleep, at once knew her
condition and attempted to follow her,
but he got caught in the bed COW
erings and fell heavily. Before he
could disentangle himself, his wife had
already met with the accident. He ran
to her assistance and found her tightly
wedged in the stairs. He nose was brok-
en- and she was bleeding profusely from
it. She was also bruised all over. A
physician was called in and she is now
doing well.-EDery Evening.

The Elko Independent says:
An item is going the rounds of
the press to the effect that an Elko
man claimed and received a bounty
on the scalp Of Newfoundland
dog which was presented as bear
scalp. A newspaper man ought to
know that there is no law in this
State for the payment of bounty
on bear scalps, and it is a.reproach
on the intelligence Of our Justice
of the Peace to iosinuate that he
does not know the difference be-
tween bear and a Newfoundland
dog. Besides our Commissioners
are not so reckless as to pay boun-
ties not authorized by law on the
scalps of noxious or domestic ami
mails.

THE ENTERPRzsE.
Something of the Old Papers
History.

| EkiStcEy.
The Enterprise today passes out
Of the hands Of its old management
and will hereafter be conducted by
Mr.. jesse Taggart its present ed
itor.
The history of the Enterprise Is
the history Of the State. It was
originally founded in Genoa, and
the type and material was packed
over the mountains on mules. 1t
was then brought to Virginia City
and run by Joe Goodman and Den
mis- Mccarthy. 1t was a grand pa
per in those days, with grand op,
portunities. Goodman and Nc
earthly were at that time full of
enthusiasm and ambition, and they
made paper that was the pride of
Virginia City and the Coast.
The influence of the paper was at
its zenith during the war, when party
feeling ran high Goodman, always
staunch Republican, threw his
whole soul and staunch pen into
the cause, until every edition of
the paper was clarion blast re-
sounded through the Union.
William Sharon ran for the u. s.
Senate after tie war and the Enter
prise refused to support him. He
finally purchased the whole plant
for $4,000.
1t was here that Mark Twain and
Dan DeQuille ground out their
funny things. Rollen Daggett and
Tom Fitch also wrote for the paper,
and SO did Mrs. Fitch. Daggett
finally took charge, and at fancy
salary, but he fished more than he
wrote, and being generally in lazy
mood, was not much more than
figure head. Charlie Goodwin then
took the helm and Daggett retained
the post of editor in chief, Good
win did most of the writing and
Daggett drew most of the pay
A man named Carlyle was the
next to take charge. He vas an
Eastern man and one day wrote
something about the trend Of the
Creators movement" The sage
brush papers took it up and made
the editor so ridiculous that he left
the Enterprise, started paper In
Genoa and then left the State.
Fred Hart was the next editor.
He did not remain long. He made
a lively paper, but he trod on sew
eral peoples corns, and was sup
planted by Colonel Shaw. Under
his charge the Enterprise was
scholarly, we'll edited paper, but
he never seemed to quite grasp the
flavor of loca politics. During his
regime the war between the Enter
prise and Chronicle was very warm
Mr. Taggart, of the New York Tri-
bune, succeeded him, Mr. Witcher
being temporarily engaged on the
interium.
Mr. Taggart has made a clean
cut paper Of the Enterprise, and
during his stay in Nevada has never
been trapped into saying a mean
thing about anyone with whom he
has had controversy. He under
stands perfectly the nicer ethics of
journalism. and has made abiding
friends in the profession and else
where. He IS a thorough newspa-
per man, forcible writer and keen
logician. The APPEAL wishes the
Enterprise continued prosperity IN
der his management.
